Orinx (also written as Orins) is an ancient lineage of millers in Pajottenland , Hainaut , East Flanders and Walloon Brabant . A family member played an important role in the development of the Belgian draft horse at the end of the 19th century.

Meaning of the family name

Müller fastened the sails on the wings

According to Jozef Van Overstraeten (1896-1986), Honorary Chairman of the Flemish Tourist Board - Flemish motorists association, the most likely explanation, the Middle Dutch word "oorrinc" d. H. Earring. This would be the nickname of someone who wore a flashy earring or made earrings. It is less likely to be a mutilation of the Central Dutch "Horic", i. H. a corner, namely a remote residential area of ​​the village. There is a family name Hoorickx = Van Hoorick. The x at the end of the name is an ancestral letter: Son of Orinc. Frans Debrabandere, General Secretary of the Royal Commission for Toponymy and Dialectology, thinks of the toponym “Horik or Hoek”.

Spellings

Müller sharpens the millstone

There are different spellings for the name Orinx. The reasons for this are:

  • The low literacy (reading ability) of the population at the time (only a few people could read and even less could write). The general compulsory education was introduced in Belgium until the 1914th
  • The use of dialects .
  • The use of French in another part of the country, pronouncing the same name differently and distorting the name Orinx to Oreins.

When Belgium was incorporated into the First French Republic (1795), the civil status was also introduced here, including the birth register. So far only the church registers existed (baptism, marriage, funeral). At birth, the babies literally had to be shown to administrators. Since many people were still illiterate , they could only give their names orally. Depending on the case, the pastor or the official had to determine how the name should be spelled.

The mix-up of the different spellings occurred among others with Simon Orinx (1757-1820). At the end of the 18th century, Simon van Herfelingen moved from the south of the Pajottenland north to Asbeek ( Asse ). Simon's first child was registered as Anne-Marie Orinckx (17-04-1797). He himself wrote a cross, as was customary for illiterate people. The second child was registered as Antoinette Orix (22-04-1799) and Simon signed Orinx, but in a clumsy upside-down script.

Distribution according to the spelling

There are different spellings that appear in the Belgian national register in 2008:

orthography Municipality (city) most Second largest number
Orinx 75 Aces Brussels Capital District
Orins 36 Maarkedal Kluisbergen
Orincx 1 Aces

The Orinxs in the capital Brussels are largely emigrated pajottes.

Spread of the mills in which a miller in the family worked

The millers were mainly active as owners or tenants in the southern part of the Pajottenland and spread from there to North Pajottenland, Hainaut, East Flanders and Walloon Brabant. About 50 millers and related millers have been located in about 20 mills.

  • Mill at Asbeek, Asse. Simon Orinx (1757–1820) was a miller here. He was the ancestor of the Orinx family in Asse.

  • Martins Mill, Viane (Geraardsbergen).

Relatives millers

Millers usually learned the trade from father to son. However, every miller was not able to give all of his sons jobs. Other millers were then willing to employ them, as they had minimal knowledge of the profession and had the opportunity to get to know the daughters. As a result, some marriages were concluded between miller families. A notable example can be found in the 18th century with the millers Orinx and the equally prominent millers Van Lierde. Jacobus Orins, miller in Neigem, married Elisabeth Van Lierde in 1711, their daughter Catharina Orins married Michiel Van Lierde in 1754, the first miller of the mill of Terhagen in Gooik and later of the mill of Opalfene in Ternat. Below is a list of the millers who were related to the Orinx-Orins family.

Auguste Oreins (Orenge) and the creation of the Brabant (also Belgian) draft horse

Draft horse in the Pajottenland

Jean Orens (Orins) (approx. 1620–1698) was both a miller and a lay judge in Hove. His son Paul Antoine Orens (approx. 1650-1735) settled as a farmer in Montignies-lez-Lens . He was the first resident with such a name. His children were registered there as Oreins and Orenge. In 1823, the fourth generation of Oreins (Orenge) appeared in Montignies-lez-Lens with the birth of Auguste Oreins. In 1864 Auguste bought the 30-month-old stallion Prins (DE, Prinz) in Grimminge . From Montignies-Lez-Lens, Auguste Oreins and his stallion traveled from village to village for weeks so that Prins covered the mares . The farmers often kept them on site as long as possible so that their mare was covered at the right time, so that the farmers gave the stallion a second name after the first name of its owner, namely Gugusse. When Gugusse was ten years old, the inspection committee informed Auguste that his stallion had been licensed for the last time and that the stallion was lame. Gugusse was then sold and ended up in 1878 with Jules Hazard, who ran the farmstead of Le Fosteau Castle . Due to his huge arable land of 500 hectares, Jules Hazard used a lot of horses and concentrated mainly on his own breeding . He registered Gugusse in the stud book as Orange I (BS1144), most likely as a reference to Auguste Oreins (Orenge). All Brabant (Belgian) draft horses are descended from this Orange I. His two most famous sons were Brillant and Jupiter. Orange I died in 1885, twenty-one years old.

The brilliant, born in 1868, was bought by Remy Vanderschueren from Vollezele at the age of nine . The success of the Brabant horse began with this stallion. The stallion won the highest international awards from 1878 to 1884. During the World Exhibition in Paris in 1878 he became international champion in front of the best representatives of the English, French and Italian races. This was followed by successes in London (1879), Lille (1879), Brussels (1881), Hanover (1881) and Amsterdam (1884). Brillant, also a Belgian master from 1890, put the Pajottenland village of Vollezele on the world map. Many large farmers from Vollezele, but also from other communities in Pajottenland, followed Remy Vanderschueren's example, so that the breeding of draft horses represented an important source of income and the region became the center of Belgian breeding. The Belgian draft horse became one of the most important export products in Belgium. In 1910, 34,599 draft horses were exported to Canada , Germany , France , Italy , the Netherlands , Russia , the United States and Sweden . The total trade value was around 50 million Belgian francs (BEF). Huge sums of money were paid for a stallion. In 1930 Espoir de Quaregnon (Belgian champion 1929) was exported to Italy for 1 million BEF - with a current value of 505,000 euros. Blankets weren't cheap either. A breed from Avenir d'Herse (Belgian champion 1925) cost 10,000 BEF at that time.

Brillant was not able to pass on his qualities to his offspring, as only mediocre mares were available. Jupiter became Belgian champion in 1890 and was a successful stallion. His son Rêve d'Or became world champion in all categories in Paris in 1900 and received three gold medals. Another son of Jupiter was Brin d'Or, who had 140 offspring, including Indigène du Fosteau. A number of descendants of these indigenous people were exported to the Netherlands. In 1924, 15.5% of the studbook horses in the Netherlands came from this stallion and therefore also from Orange I.

  • brilliant

  • Rêve d'Or

Since 1887 there has been an association in Wabash (Indiana) that has kept a stud book of Belgian draft horses: The Belgian Draft Horse Corporation of America. The number of Belgian draft horses in the United States is greater than all other draft horse breeds combined. The American Brabant Organization was founded in Isanti (in the US state of Minnesota) in 1999 with the aim of protecting, preserving and promoting the Brabant draft horse.
